Küss mich, Doc (1982)

Küss mich, Doc: Directed by Garry Marshall. With Sean Young, Michael McKean, Gary Friedkin, Kyle T. Heffner. It’s a spoof on hospital soap operas with a few gangsters thrown in. A new batch of interns begins at City Hospital.

“This, one could say, a uniquely fascinating spoof on hospitals, did provide some moments of real belly laughs. Not to say, this film isnu0026#39;t completely without flaws. The film has a number of likeable actors, some uncredited soapie stars, as well as a pre Seinfeld crazy, as is a great 95 minutes of spoof entertainment, while kind of at times, it feels more serious, if you judge the underlying story as to med student, Youngu0026#39;s, ailing plight. Hector Elizondo of course, steals the movie as a disguised gangster figure, whou0026#39;s hiding his crime boss father in City Memorial, as being a marked man. A lot of jokes work, where some just sag, but thereu0026#39;s a lot of clever ones at play, where some wonu0026#39;t wash, but you admire the film for the clever ones. I really liked Michael Mckean (an ex Laverne And Shirley favorite) in this, as the no nonsense, u0026quot;aspiring to be the greatest surgeon that ever livedu0026quot; med student, a totally serious, likeable contrast, as to all the other hang back, partying collegues, and Dabney Coleman, the other top performance in this, shows us again, why heu0026#39;s such a great adept and versatile actor. YDIL is a standalone spoof, with some bouncing breasts, skating nurses, falls, spills, forgotten soapie star cameou0026#39;s, even, a rectified too sudden actors. 7.5/10”
